Repeated prompt segfaults on 61th iteration

[jonppe]

Simple script like:

import llm
model = llm.get_model("orca-mini-3b-gguf2-q4_0")
for i in range(70):
    print(i, model.prompt("How are you today?"))

seems to always crash on the 61th prompt() call.
It doesn't seem to be related to running out of memory but something else.

I'm not quite sure if this is actually llm-gpt4all issue or issue in gpt4all or even in llama.cpp.
But at least, I didn't see issues when using gpt4-all directly (at least the following version works):

from gpt4all import GPT4All
model = GPT4All(MODEL)
for i in range(70)
    print(model.generate("How are you", max_tokens=5))

Anyway, the gpt4-all Python API behaves quite a bit differently here.
E.g., the llm-gpt4all re-creates LLModel objects in Python for each prompt.

The coredump shows that the ctx variable seen by the C++ code is null but how that exactly happens:

I'm using Ubuntu, Python 3.11.6, no GPU used here.

Hi,
I use Fedora 38, python 3.11.8, no GPU and have the same problem.
